I used an irock fm modulator and it was a pos. I don't have a tape player in my car but tried a cassette tape adapter in my friends car and it worked much better.
<< Does anyone know if this model has an audio out to run into a receiver and such????? >>
Most of the Archos models come with miniplug/left and right RCA jack cord. Even if they don't, they are pretty cheap. Hooks right up.
For those like me who have been worried about Archos Tech Support horror stories (lack of support):
I have had an JBMM20 for the last eleven months. Everything has worked fine but I recently discovered that the analog line in recording feature didn't work. Called their toll Tech Support number, was on hold for about 10 minutes, spoke to a CSR for about 5 minutes, got the RMA number. Much, much better than I expected given all the stories over the last few years. Wished they had a toll free number (email didn't seem to work), you have to pay for shipping to them (tracking/insured) and it might be somewhat of a wait to get it fixed. On the plus side is the one year warranty vs. some of the 90 day wonders. We'll see what I say after I get it back. So far so good.

<< the price grabber price can't be right. Amazon had this onsale for $129 AR a few times. When people start to buy, Amazon will up the price to $149 AR. >>
err ... I looked on PriceGrabber.com, and the only store selling the Archos 500577v2 (the model on Amazon) is eCost ... so its not exactly a great example on prices... (and I didnt know that pricegrabber included store Rebates in its pricing ...
NexTag has MacMall / PCMall as its two vendors (both OOS) at $242.99
Shopper.com doesn't even have a listing ...
However, with other Archos 20gb units being over $200, I guess $129 AR isn't bad ...
<< Dont purchase one from this guy --------->>>>WOW!!!!!!!!!! >>
I wonder what this guy is upto? is he just trying to see how many idiots there are out there? ... I mean, WHO in their right mind would buy anything from someone with his prices (let alone his ratings)
I have an archos studio 10 and the build quality is really bad. I've taken it apart and had to re-solder many of the connections, especially the ones to the headphone and speaker-out jacks. It's not as if I was constantly connecting and disconnecting plugs from these jacks either; they just failed prematurely and spectacularly. If you're not handy with the soldering iron, you might want to spend a bit more for something else.
